And Germany didn't instantly and irreparably collapse into a dystopian hellscape?

I'm starting to think that the rationale for breaking the rail strike in the US might have been bullshit.

But remember, Biden is "the most pro Union President in History"

This is what makes it so hard being a liberal. Democrats will say shit like this AFTER BLOCKING A STRIKE

You get how those can both be true right?

A less pro-union or anti-union president would've also broke the railroad strike -- and the UAW strike and whatever other stirke. You let perfection be the enemy of progress. You for some reason expect a Democrat to be a leftist and are upset when they're not. The other guy is even more not leftist.

You for some reason think I expect this? Damn dude thanks for putting words in my mouth, great example
